Find your friction points
You’re smart. You’re capable. You care deeply about your work.
So why does running your business sometimes feel
like wading through treacle?
The answer isn’t about working harder or wanting it more.
It’s about understanding where your brain works brilliantly, and where it needs different support.
What this quiz shows you
This isn’t another generic business assessment.
This quiz is built on the 6×6 Framework, the model at the heart of Business Unmasked. It maps six executive functions (the mental skills that help you plan, focus, and follow through) against the very pillars of business, the practical areas every founder needs to manage.
In just 5 minutes, you’ll discover which executive function is creating the most friction in your business right now, and what you can do about it.
The executive functions
Your brain’s office manager
Each of these brain functions shows up differently in your business.
Understanding where you struggle most is the first step to building support that actually works.
- Activation: Getting started, even when you know what needs doing
- Focus: Staying with tasks without getting pulled away by distractions or other ideas
- Effort & Energy: Managing your energy sustainably, without burning out
- Emotional Regulation: Managing feelings like overwhelm, rejection, and self-doubt without letting them derail you
- Memory: Keeping track of tasks, ideas, and commitments without relying on your brain alone
- Monitoring Action: Noticing how things are going and making adjustments before problems become urgent
For many neurodivergent founders, one or two of these areas create the most friction. This quiz helps you see which ones.
This quiz is for you if…
(It’s ok if you’re just curious. No diagnosis needed. Just honesty.)
- You’re running (or building) a business with ADHD, autism, or other neurodivergent traits
- You know what needs doing, but struggle to consistently do it
- You’re tired of business advice that assumes you can “just be consistent”
- You want to understand why some tasks feel impossibly hard, even when you care about them
- You’re ready to stop blaming yourself and start building systems that actually fit your brain
If you recognise yourself in these challenges, this quiz is for you.

Why this matters
It’s not about fixing your brain, it’s about building around it.
Most business advice is built for neurotypical brains. It assumes you can plan consistently, stay focused through willpower, and follow through on routines.
If that’s never worked for you, it’s not because you’re not trying hard enough.
It’s because the system wasn’t designed for how your brain works.
This quiz helps you see where the mismatch is, so you can stop fighting yourself and start building support that actually fits.
